Deafness Cannot be Cared
By ioeil application, as they can nut
reach the diseased portion of the eir.
There is only one way to core dearness,
and that is by constitutional remedie-.
Deafness is caused by an InlUmed o mdi-
tionof the mucous liuing of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube gets iutlatueo
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
bearing, and when it is entirely clos.d
deafness is the result, and unless the ln-
llaminutiou can be taken out and this tune
restored to Its normal condition, heaniur
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition cf the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's (Jhikitu

Letter From Miss Julia A. Fllach,

June 9,1898.
Dear Union Recorder:—
So many of my Miiledgeville friends
have expressed fear of my falling into
tlie hands of the Spanish that I feel
moved to send them a message at the
risk of seeming impertinent.
Even here, out of sight of land,
there is a sound of war and the Span
ish. In the lirst place there are fewer
passengers than I linve ever known at
this lime of the year; in the second
place, there is a decided flavor of Jack
Tar. There are on board several
marines who have seen service on the
Newport, Minneapolis, and other ships
in Cuban waters. They have just
finished two enlistments of three years,
and are on their way home on a three
month’s vacation before re-enlisting for
another three years. They are pict
uresque-looking fellows in their dress
costumes—blue blouses with big sailor
collars trimmed with three rows of nar
row white braid and a star in the cor
ners, and an eagle embroidered in
the right sleeve, trousers very tight at
the bins and flowing at the ankle,
round sailor caps with II. S. S. New-!
I ort, or Montgomery, or Nashville, on
the rims. All in all, Solomon in all
his glory was not as proud as one of
these. I saw some of them in undress
uniform also and they were not so pict
uresque though doubtless very com
fortable—lor them. Their costume
consisted of blouse and trousers of can
vas, white, probably, when the fleet
started lor Cuba, but dirty beyond
compare, bare head and bare feet, and
behold Jack Tar ready for business.
Jack otl duty is the most important
of all men. i hese marines appreciate
the fact that they are objects of interest
and a re very friendly and loquacious,
they are especially anxious to please
the ladies, although their language is
at times more picturesque than grace
ful, and sometimes more emphatic than
pious. They are all proud of the l\S.
and of their particular ship, nil eager
lor a I ray, and none of them afraid of
death, but they corroborate Miles’
statement ot a looseness in the way of
conducting the commissnry depart
ment and say that the soldiers and
sailors are afraid ot a scarcity of pro
visions.
Besides the marines and soldiers on
board there are a few nondescript in
dividuals whom no-one can exactly
place. One man says he lias been go
ing to Cuba tor twenty years, ofl' and
on. lie says he is in the government
service but in what capacity he does
' not state- I heard him give a vivid
description in sailor language of the
action at Cardenas, and, by the way,
the name is accented on the lirst syla-
ble Car’denas, net on the second
Carde’nas. He spoke enthusiastically
of the accuracy ot the American gun
nery. There is nothing to compare
with it among the Spanish.
New York, June 10.
It is interesting to watch vessels
threading the jiarrow channels of these
mined harbors. When over the mines
(lie vessel’s machinery is stopped and
she is allowed to float over. In New
York the channel left free is very nar
row and the bouys have been changed,
or so I judged from the expressive lan
guage ot the captain, who, as he direct
ed the movements of the Tallahassee
laboriously threading her way amid a
host of smaller vessels, exclaimed, with
a fervor which left no doubt ot his
sincerity, “ding dang these Spanish
who have dingareed this harbor in any
ucli shape.” I am very much in-
lined to say ding dang tne folks who
iingareed the country into such a muss.
Down in Milledgavjlle we hear very
little because we are on the outskirts of
everything. But when I come up
here and see everything prosperous and
in spick and span order, trade brisk,
locomoiive and machine shops at work,
ship-building going on, new and mag
nificent public buildings being erected,
and think of our poverty-stricken
South, l am disgusted with my people
for ever having stopped tor u moment
from the necessary work of building up
the country to send her young men to
starve at Tampa, to die ot lever in Cu
ba or worst of all to loose their man
hood amid the licentiousness of camp
life at Chickamauga. The south is
too far behind in the manufacturing;
